KEEP:
[Use a single motion. The right hand moves to the left hand. The
left hand is held slightly out from the body and remains mostly stationary.]
However...if I'm telling someone to "keep it" I tend to move the whole sign in
his or her direction as I whack the two "K" hands together. If I'm
talking about myself keeping it then I do the sign close by my body.
LEND and BORROW
[The sign moves toward the person who is getting the money or the
object. I could say two different sentences that mean the same thing,
"Could you please lend me $5.00?" and "Could I please borrow
$5.00?"
So you see, the sign LEND or BORROW is the same sign, you just have to start
the sign near the person who has the money, (the lender or borrowee) and move
the sign toward the person who ends up with the money (the borrower or lendee).
"ME LEND YOU"
for YOU LEND ME, just reverse the movement.
TAKE CARE OF (version 1)
Both hands stay together throughout this sign.
The sign traces a small circle twice.
The circular movement is up, forward, down, back, repeat.
Now, I hate to do this to you, but
lots of people sign "take care of" by simply tapping the "K" hands together
twice.
The movement is sort of gentle. But, if you do a "harder movement," and are
saying "good bye" to someone it might be interpreted as "take care of
yourself."
TAKE-CARE (Use a somewhat larger movement when saying good-byes)
The right "K" hand whacks the left "K" hand twice. The movement is
mostly in the right hand but the left hand moves a bit too..
